Re: meanest supercars....
I agree with the B/M L-88/ZLX cars as far as BadA$$ and mean but they're look is too wild for me. I've always been partial to the sleeper look.
My vote: the '68 Gibb Harrell 427 and the '69 Yenko and Dana Novas!

Re: meanest supercars....
I still think that a '68-'69 Motion-built ("as delivered") 427 L88 Phase III Nova, "welds" and all, would have to be pretty damn hard to beat. With gears and cheater slicks it's got to be a low 11/high-10 car! Same goes for a 'tuned' '69 Yenko Nova or a Dick Harrell Nova. Camaros too, but the Novas have a slight weight advantage. But, in the weight department, a Phase III Stingray would have to be right up there too. No wonder the insurance companies threw down the gauntlet in 1970!
Hemi Darts were/are awesome cars but not street legal. I think the term "Supercar" implies a street-legal car delivered through a dealership or dealer subcontractor like Motion or Harrell.

[/ QUOTE ] thats debateable. i know Hurst worked with AMC on the SC/ramblers but i'm not sure on the SC/hornets. these cars were definately Supercars and not sold through subcontractors. the topic is "Meanest" and nothin screams American Badass better than a A scheme SC/rambler. except...

Xplant - the car I'm talking about was an ugly sleeper. Seems like in was that intermediate sized Dodge coronet. Had an aluminum grill and I think it was one of the first real write-ups about the hemi. This guy raced down Van Nuys Blvd. and blew everything away. He wrote in a way that you relived everything he did. It was great. One day I will find that article....one day. The Hemi Dart was bad but they were no warranty not for street use weren't they? Or does it matter? [/ QUOTE ] Alright let me do some more digging....I still vote for a 427 equipped Nova...must be WAY too much fun...
